Dave Grohl Names David Bowie's 'Let's Dance' As Favourite Air-Drumming Album Of All Time

Foo Fighters star and former Nirvana sticksman Dave Grohl has revealed his all-time favourite air-drumming album - David Bowie’s ‘Let's Dance!’
Speaking to BBC 6 Music as part of their Bowie’s Heroes programme, which coincides with the release of Bowie’s 24th studio album ‘The Next Day’, Grohl revealed that his favourite Bowie record is ‘Let’s Dance’ - because he loves air-drumming along to it.
“I always go, and people will think I'm crazy for this as there are a lot of Bowie eras and they're all great, but I really like the 'Let's Dance' period,” Grohl told the site. “Because, as a drummer, that's one of the best air drumming albums of all time.”
“I can appreciate technical drumming, sure. But to me there's nothing better than being in a bar full of people dancing and air drumming when none of them know how to play the drums. That and 'Back In Black', anyone will air drum to those albums.”
Bowie is currently odds on to pick up the Mercury Prize for his new record this year, but the real question is whether he’ll be hitting the road for a tour. There’s been more than enough speculation, hints, and rumours - the latest coming from his wife, who revealed that she ‘won’t be on tour with him’ (implying that there is, in fact, a tour in the works!) - but we’ll have to wait for an official announcement to find out whether he truly will.
